[Q] Newbie way in over his head - myTouch 3G, Magic General

When I started, this was my phone:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27
I figured I had 32A, but I later found out that if it has the 3.5mm jack then it's in fact at 32B. I went through the procedures for a perfected spl trying to get my hboot and radio so I could run ginger yoshi 1.2.
Everything went wrong of course.
I can still fastboot, but anytime I try to flash from fastboot I get FAILED (remote: signature verify fail). I'm unable to boot into recovery. I tried a new sappimg.zip but the phone gets stuck on unzipping and I have to pull the battery. I tried remaking the goldcard several times.
Now fastboot shows my phone as:
SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A ENG S-ON H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17
June 2 2009,17:27:03
How screwed am I?

Progress update:
I was able to turn S-OFF by running this in fastboot:
fastboot oem eraseconfig
From there I was able to flash hboot 1.33.0013 and radio 2.22.28.25 (for ginger yoshi).
I can now get into recovery and I'm in the process of install ginger yoshi.

I can see that the above command is catching on :0)

When I run that command still bricked pretty much here

Problem rooting MT3G 1.2

So I was following the directions on unlockr and I seem to be having some problems.
I downloaded the sappimg and flashed it, restarted and it hung at the first boot screen for 15 - 20 minutes. I restarted into the bootloader mode and tried to reflash the sappimg but its stuck at "[1] SYSTEM - Unzipping" and the progress bar hasn't filled at all...
What should I do? Should I try to restart and do it again or?
Also, my original info on that screen has changed, it was this:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Now it says:

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP3100)
CPLD-13
RADIO-3.22.20.17

Does this mean it flashed okay and I should just move on in the guide or?
Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: I downloaded the sappimg.zip file a couple of times and I double checked that it copied okay to the goldcard... I think the file is correct but I don't know why I'm running into problems on the first few step
My phone has been sitting this way for almost an hour... Should I just take out the battery and hope for the best or does anyone have any suggestions? It seems that it hasn't flashed anything or done anything at all since it is just saying "unzipping" without any progress... I plugged it into usb because I don't want the battery running out but I'm not convinced its charging...
Anyone?
So I gave up, restarted (by removing the battery) I can still get into fastboot/'bootloader mode' (is this the same as recovery?) and my SPL and Radio information is the same as earlier. 'fastboot devices' reveals my phone in fastboot mode so I think I'm on the right track but I just want to be sure... Should I continue on and do the fastboot commands?
EDIT: PLEASE DELETE/CLOSE THIS THREAD
Despite running into problems, I continued through the guide and it worked out perfectly.
if you phones info in hboot is

Thanks for the reply, I guess I didn't need to create a thread because I figured it out on my own. I was worried I bricked my new phone but it worked out in the end.
Thanks again! This thread can be closed/deleted.

[Q] Unable to upgrade to new radio / SPL

Hi all,
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade past CM 6.0 on my Magic (mytouch 1.2). I'm currently hitting a brick wall and was wondering if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction.
In fastboot - the device gives:
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT -1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
..
RADIO-2.22.23.02
So that's what the phone is currently running. I can run Amon-Ra's 1.70 sapphire recovery on the phone as well as CM6.0
I was trying (hoping to be able to anyway) to upgrade the radio / SPL to take advantage of some of the GB stuff people are porting over. I first flashed an update to an Engineering SPL to 1.33.2005 in recovery, and then I fastboot flashed a new radio, 6.35.16.19 and SPL 1.76.2007. I attempted to flash Clockwork's recovery at this point, and have hit a brick wall. I can go back to the original version of the software with no problems, and my phone boots to fastboot even with the new stuff installed, but I am unable to boot to recovery, either by holding menu down, or trying to boot the image from fastboot.
I did make sure to format my SD Card, I've fastboot erase system -w'd, and also erased each individual partition, with no luck.
Any suggestions?

After flashing the Engineering SPL Update to move to 1.33.2005, the fastboot screen appears:

Then I flashed the new Radio (6.35.19) image, and the new SPL image (1.76.2007), as well as the Clockwork Mod recovery (I have tried this with AmonRa as well):

It's at this point, after doing 'fastboot erase system -w' and 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' and then rebooting, that I am unable to enter recovery mode. The phone just hangs at the htc magic splash screen. I should note that I am able to enter fastboot and hboot with no difficulty. Attempting to do 'fastboot boot "recovery.img"' has also proved unsuccessful.
I suspect that my problems lie in my original version of the SPL being S-ON. I get the feeling I'm going to need to go dig out my gold card, since the update I'm using to get to 1.33.2005 seems to indicate '32b'. I might also be reading too much into it.
What ever you do... STOP NOW.
You are working in the blind dude... you are 1 step away from bricking your device.
You cannot have 32A radio. Your device is a hybrid, a 32B with 32A ram... Just look at it as you have 32B with a little extra ram...
Follow this guide and continue from step 4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734617
Thanks for the save. I'll definitely admit that some of this is higher level than I'm used to. Appreciate you saving me from myself ;-)
